.SH NAME
slapo\-dyngroup \- Dynamic Group overlay to slapd
.SH SYNOPSIS
ETCDIR/slapd.conf
.SH DESCRIPTION
The Dynamic Group overlay allows clients to use LDAP Compare operations
to test the membership of a dynamic group the same way they would check
against a static group. Compare operations targeting a group's static
member attribute will be intercepted and tested against the configured
dynamic group's URL attribute.
.LP
Note that this intercept only happens if the actual
Compare operation does not return a LDAP_COMPARE_TRUE result. So if a
group has both static and dynamic members, the static member list will
be checked first.
.SH CONFIGURATION
This
.B slapd.conf
option applies to the Dynamic Group overlay.
It should appear after the
.B overlay
directive.
.TP
.B attrpair <memberAttr> <URLattr>
Specify the attributes to be compared. A compare operation on the
.I memberAttr
will cause the
.I URLattr
to be evaluated for the result.
.SH EXAMPLES
.nf
  database mdb
  ...
  overlay dyngroup
  attrpair member memberURL
.fi
.SH FILES

.SH BACKWARD COMPATIBILITY
The dyngroup overlay has been reworked with the 2.5 release to use
a consistent namespace as with other overlays. As a side-effect the
following cn=config parameters are deprecated and will be removed in
a future release:
.B olcDGAttrPair
is replaced with olcDynGroupAttrPair
.B olcDGConfig
is replaced with olcDynGroupConfig
